Pythagoras did not invent the distance formula as we know it today; however, he is credited with the Pythagorean theorem, which is foundational to the distance calculation in a Cartesian coordinate system. The distance formula, derived from the Pythagorean theorem, was formalized much later, in the context of coordinate geometry, which developed in the 17th century with the work of mathematicians like René Descartes. Thus, while Pythagoras' theorem laid the groundwork, the distance formula itself was not attributed to him.
Pythagoras did not directly invent the distance formula as we know it today; rather, he is credited with the Pythagorean theorem, which describes the relationship between the sides of a right triangle. The distance formula, derived from this theorem, calculates the distance between two points in a Cartesian plane. It emerged later as a mathematical application of Pythagorean principles, allowing for the measurement of distance in coordinate geometry. Thus, while Pythagoras laid the groundwork, the formula itself was developed through subsequent advancements in mathematics.
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.

Pythagoras. He didint invent them he discover them.
Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician who had several inventions. Pythagoras created the Pythagorean scale, a music scale that was commonly used throughout Greece.

No.
No. Pythagoras came up with the Pythagorean Theorem and Golden Ratio, though.

He did some of the numbers in Pi.
You are using Pythagoras's construction to find Euclid's distance.
